4	132	Benches of stone, on which the members of the council sat, rose in five monumental tiers about the walls, one tier for each of the high Castes.	7
4	163	"Then," said my father, placing his hands solemnly on my shoulders, "in virtue of my authority as Administrator of this city and in the presence of the council of high Castes, I declare you to be a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba".	7

4	171	With the Older Tarl I left the Chamber of the council and entered a room off the chamber to wait for my father.	6
5	19	The soldiers, and the council of his city, had succumbed to his blandishments, his promises of wealth and power for Ar.	6
5	24	Indeed, they had, in the fashion of Gor, driven my father's envoys from their council Chambers with the whips normally used on slaves, an insult which, at another time, would have been answered by the War Call of Ko-ro-ba.	6

5	61	Presumably, it would be at least a matter of minutes before her identity was discovered, and, before that, she would take the poison provided by the council.	6
5	107	"Why?" What could I tell her? That I had come from another world, that I was determined that all the ways of Gor should not be mine, or that I had cared for her, somehow, so helpless in her condition—that she had moved me to regard her not as an instrumentality of mine or of the council...	6
5	132	Sana had insisted that I keep the pellet of poison which the council had given her to spare her from the otherwise inevitable tortures that would follow the disclosure of her identity in the cylinders of Ar.	6
10	3	Kazrak's remark was in accord with the strange warrior codes of Gor, codes which were as natural to him as the air he breathed, and codes which I, in the Chamber of the council of Ko-ro-ba, had sworn to uphold.	6

17	227	Cernus had been proclaimed, as the Taurentians lifted their swords in salute and the members of the high council had stood on the tiers of the council Chamber and cried out and applauded, Ubar of Ar.	10
3	55	In Ar, the high bridge near the Central Cylinder, housing the palace of the Ubar and the meeting place of the city's high council, was held, and had been for four years, by the young and brilliant, fiery Scormus of Ar.	10
12	22	Near the finishing perches, nine of which were standing for this race, were the areas reserved for the Administrator, the high Initiate, and members of the high council.	10
16	14	It perhaps need only be added that now being a Warrior, and thus of high Caste, he was now eligible for a seat on the high council of the city, and even for the throne itself, whether it be that of Administrator or Ubar.	10
18	187	The Cylinder of the high Initiate then petitioned the high council of the City to stop our work, but they, on the recommendation of Marlenus, who was then Ubar, permitted our work to continue".	10
5	586	Surely there had been scandalized mention of her in circles even as august as that of the high council of the City.	10
16	9	The high council, with scarcely a murmur, agreed to the investiture.	10
16	32	It was also the day that, before the high council and the Administrator, Cernus, of the House of Cernus, accepted the red of the Warrior from the hands of Saphronicus, Captain of the Taurentians.	10
17	202	Two members of the high council, who had spoken out against the influence of Merchants in the politics of Ar, presumably a veiled reference to Cernus, were found slain, one cut down by killing knife and another throttled and found dangling from a bridge near his home.	10
17	214	Then, as I would have expected, within the month, there were rumors of peculation, and an accounting and investigation, theoretically to clear the name of the Hinrabian, was demanded by one of the high council, a Physician whom I had seen upon occasion in the house.	10

2	53	Beyond the area of the sand and the many tables there was a high wall, some twenty feet or so high, in which there were four levels, each containing seven small curtained alcoves, the entrances to which were circular, with a diameter of about twenty-four inches.	6
2	254	"Without the gold of this house, how could the Administrator and the high Initiate have sponsored the races and the games that won them the favor of the lower castes?" "But the lower castes do not elect the Administrator or the high Initiate," said Kuurus.	6

10	8	Accordingly I, who had been Tarl Cabot, once a warrior of Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning, sat now in the council of these captains, merchant and pirate princes, the high oligarchs of squalid, malignant Port Kar, Scourge of Gleaming Thassa.	7
11	418	It was shortly past daybreak, and the gray light of Port Kar's dawn was filtering in through the high, narrow windows of the council of Captains.	7
16	381	Through the thick walls, and the high, narrow windows of the hall of the council of Captains, there came a great, rumbling cry, the thunderous mixture of roiling shouts.	7
15	97	The climax would occur in some four or five weeks in the formal presentations before the council, and in the receipt of its highest accolade as worthy captain of Port Kar.	7
11	368	"Further," said Samos, "let the council decree that any who fail to abide by the resolutions of the council, or act against it, be regarded, at the council's convenience, subject to her pleasure".	6
11	411	Also considered, though nothing was determined that night, were matters of taxation, the unification and revision of the codes of the five Ubars, the establishment of council courts, replacing those of the Ubars, and the acquisition of a sizable number of men-at-arms, who would be dire...	6
10	1	The council of Captains I took my seat in the council of the Captains of Port Kar.	6
11	338	"Now hear," said Samos, "the proposal of the council, that Henrius Sevarius and his regent, Claudius, lay down their arms, and divest themselves of all ships, and men and holdings, and all properties and assets, and present themselves, stripped and in the chains of slaves, before the <...	6
11	365	"Further," said Samos, "I propose that the council decree that all bonds among clients and patrons in Port Kar be now dissolved, to be reestablished only on the basis of mutual consent and explicit contract on the part of the parties involved, which documents, in copy, are to be placed...	6
11	414	It is true, of course, that the council already controlled a large number of ships and crews, but it must be remembered that these forces were naval in nature; the council already had its navy; the events of the afternoon had demonstrated that it would be well if it had a...	6
15	107	And now, in this very afternoon, my glories had been climaxed in the chamber of the council of Captains, in which had taken place the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder, in which had taken place the commendation of the council for my deeds...	6
15	108	Even now, in my feast of celebration, hours after the meeting of the council, I still wore about my neck the broad scarlet ribbon with its pendant medallion of gold, bearing the design of a lateen-rigged tarn ship, the initials in cursive Gorean script of council of Capta...	6
15	117	For one thing, they had now formed a council Guard, with its distinct livery, that was now recognized as a force of the council, and, in effect, as the police of the city.	6
16	418	They followed me, and I left the chamber of the council, and, in a few moments, stood on the top of the broad marbled steps leading up to the hall of the council of Captains.	6
15	361	She had high cheekbones, and flashing black eyes, and coal-black hair, now worn high, pinned, over her head.	6
4	130	"Ho-Hak," said she, "has called the nearby islands to a council".	6
4	134	"What is the purpose of the council?" I asked.	6
5	80	The men had sat in council with Ho-Hak, and there had been much discussion, much argument, even shouting.	6
5	86	After the council had broken up, one of the men who had been seated there came to regard me.	6
9	101	Nominally beneath these Ubars, but in fact much independent of them, is an oligarchy of merchant princes, Captains, as they call themselves, who, in council, maintain and manage the great arsenal, building and renting ships and fittings, themselves controlling the grain fleet, the oil ...	6
9	102	Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, said to be an agent of Priest-Kings, was, I knew, a member of this council.	6
9	148	But these islands were not united, and, indeed, the government of them was usually no more than a village council.	6
10	9	In the council, in effect, was vested the stability and administration of Port Kar.	6
10	11	The Ubars were represented on the council, to which they belonged as being themselves Captains, by five empty thrones, sitting before the semicircles of curule chairs on which reposed the captains.	6
10	12	Beside each empty throne there was a stool from which a Scribe, speaking in the name of his Ubar, participated in the proceedings of the council.	6
10	14	A scribe, at a large table before the five thrones, was droning the record of the last meeting of the council.	6
10	15	There are commonly about one hundred and twenty captains who form the council, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less.	6
10	16	Admittance to the council is based on being master of at least five ships.	6
10	18	These five ships, pertinent to council membership, may be either the round ships, with deep holds for merchandise, or the long ships, ram-ships, ships of war.	6
10	29	The "Stone" of Port Kar, tested against the official "Stone" at the Sardar, reposed in a special fortified building in the great arsenal, which complex was administered by agents of the council of Captains.	6
10	44	The voice of the scribe droned on, reading the records of the council's last meeting.	6
10	46	Although there were some one hundred and twenty captains in the council, seldom more than seventy or eighty, either in person or by proxy, made an appearance at its meetings.	6
10	68	He may have seen me that night, among the rencers on the island, but he did not place me, one who now sat on the council of the Captains of Port Kar.	6
10	70	I had seen Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, only once at the meeting of the council.	6
10	122	My attention was returned now to the meeting of the council of the Captains of Port Kar.	6
10	133	The seaman, to his chagrin, was dismissed by a vote of the council.	6
10	136	The approximately one hundred and twenty captains of the council of the Captains of Port Kar have, pledged to their personal service, some thousand ships.	6
10	137	They further control another thousand ships, as executor, through the council, which ships comprise the members of the grain fleet, the oil fleet, the slave fleet, and others, as well as numerous patrol and escort ships.	6
10	138	Beyond these ships there are some twenty-five hundred ships which are owned by some fifteen or sixteen hundred minor captains of the city, not wealthy enough to sit on the council of Captains.	6
10	159	The wages of a sail-maker, incidentally, are four copper tarn disks per day, those of a fine shipwright, hired by the council of Captains, as much as a golden tarn disk per day.	6
10	170	The council of Captains respects those who build and outfit ships.	6
10	180	I would note, of course, that these weaknesses, or virtues, of the men of the arsenal are, of tradition, welcomed by the council of Captains; without them the arsenal could not be as efficiently and economically managed as it is.	6
10	187	Now, crying to come before the council, was the mad, half-blind shipwright Tersites, a scroll of drawings in his hand, and calculations.	6
10	189	Once before he had been permitted to present plans to the council, but they had been too fantastic to be taken seriously.	6
10	193	I recall men shouting, "Many men could not all sit through the stroke of an oar! Would you have them stand?" "So great an oar could not even be held by the hands of a man!" "Two masts with their sails could not be quickly removed before battle!" "You will slow the ship if you deepen the keel!" "If m...	6
10	199	Tersites had also, it might be mentioned, though he had not presented these ideas in his appearance before the council, argued for a rudder hung on the sternpost of the tarn ship, rather than the two side-hung rudders, and had championed a square rigging, as opposed to the beautiful la...	6
10	285	My attention was then returned to the meeting of the council of Captains.	6
10	295	The location of all such trees is kept in a book available to the council of Captains.	6
10	315	I recognized him, he being a page of the council.	6
10	335	At that moment a man burst into the hall in which was sitting the council of Captains.	6
11	2	Great chairs fell bounding down the tiers of the council chamber.	6
11	5	Feet were pounding toward the great double door, leading to the hallway beyond, leading out to the tiled piazza fronting on the hall of the council.	6
11	9	And I saw, too, that the Scribe who normally sat his attendance at the right arm of the empty throne of Henrius Sevarius, the Fifth, in the council chamber was gone.	6
11	15	But Lysias then, weapon at the ready, backed away, and then turned and fled through a side door, leading from the council hall.	6
11	30	"Gather up and guard the book of the council," I told the Scribe who had been at the great table.	6
11	57	I myself, taking with me two captains, went to a rear corner of the great chamber, whence, via a spiraling stairwell, the roof of the hall of the council might be attained.	6
11	58	We soon found ourselves on the sloping roof of the hall of the council, shielded by turrets and decorative embrasures at its edge.	6
11	82	Slowly, moving smoothly, their oars dipping in rhythm, from various sides, we saw tarn ships moving toward the hall of the council.	6
11	93	I could see, even at the distance, leaping from the prow of the ship to the tiles of the piazza, running across the large, oblique-looking, colored squares toward the Hall of the council of Captains, the great Thurnock, with his yellow bow, followed by Clitus, with his net and trident,...	6
11	113	They had surely served to draw the captains of Port Kar into the ambush prepared for them outside the hall of the council.	6
11	116	I, and the three other captains, stood on the sloping roof of the hall of the council and watched the ships burning at the wharves.	6
11	126	"Tonight," I said, "the council must meet again".	6
11	138	"If they do not come," I told him, "tell them they will no longer be captains in the eyes of the council".	6
11	140	"It is the council," I said, "that is now the first power in Port Kar".	6
11	145	Escaping into and barricading themselves within the hall of the council, most had saved themselves.	6
11	159	Further, if necessary, the council of Captains, with its power, might intercept and impound their ships, as they returned, one by one.	6
11	165	Accordingly I wished for the council to consolidate its power in the city.	6
11	167	The council, I expected, itself composed of captains, men much like myself, would provide a political structure within which my ambitions and projects might well prosper.	6
11	169	I, for one, would champion the council.	6
11	179	Above us, in the chamber of the council of Captains, I could hear feet moving about on the wooden floor, chairs scraping.	6
11	196	Some of those who had started these fires, who had been apprehended, now, under the torches, screamed on the racks beneath the chamber of the council of Captains.	6
11	210	"In the streets men cry 'Power to the council!'" "Excellent," I commented.	6
11	212	"An envoy from the House of Sevarius demands to speak before the council," he said.	6
11	222	"The council," I said, "will adjudicate his claims".	6
11	241	He had been one who had, with his crossbow, fired on the captains as they had run from the council.	6
11	259	"You were not at the meeting of the council this afternoon," I said to him.	6
11	286	"You did the council good service".	6
11	289	"Do you know who is senior captain of the council?" he asked.	6
11	303	I recalled the note I had received before Henrak had burst in upon the council, crying that there was fire in the arsenal.	6
11	308	Then Samos, who was senior captain of the council of Captains of Port Kar, turned and left.	6
11	313	* * * * Lysias, captain, client of Henrius Sevarius, spoke before the council.	6
11	315	The Hall of the council, this night, was surrounded by the men of the captains, who, too, patrolled the rooftops and the walks beside the canals for a full pasang on all sides.	6
11	318	"And so," concluded Lysias, "I bring you all amnesty in the name of the Ubar of Port Kar, Henrius Sevarius!" "Henrius Sevarius, the Captain," said Samos, speaking from his curule chair, in the name of the council, "is most kind".	6
11	320	"Henrius Sevarius, the Captain," said Samos, in measured words, "may, however, find that the council is less inclined to lenience than he".	6
11	328	"The captains of the council," said Samos, dryly, "have some one thousand ships pledged to their personal service.	6
11	329	And further, the council is executor with respect to the disposition and application of the ships of the city, in the number of approximately another thousand".	6
11	331	"The council commands," summarized Samos, "some two thousand ships".	6
11	333	"Perhaps," asked Samos, "you refer to those of Chung, and Eteocles, and Nigel and Sullius Maximus?" There was unpleasant laughter in the council.	6
11	335	"I refer to the ships of the minor captains, in the number of better than twenty-five hundred!" "In the streets," said Samos, "I have heard the cry 'Power to the council!'" "Proclaim Henrius Sevarius sole Ubar," said Lysias numbly, "and your lives will be spared, and you will be grante...	6
11	341	There was an angry cry of affirmation, and a shaking of fists, from those of the council.	6
11	350	"Is it true," he asked, "that in the eyes of the council Henrius Sevarius is no longer Ubar or Captain in Port Kar?" "It is," cried the voices.	6
11	358	"Be it known to you, Ubars," said he, "that Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, now proposes to the council that it take into its own hands the full and sole governance of the city of Port Kar, with full powers, whether of policy and decree, of enforcement, of taxation and law, or other, ...	6
11	361	"Power to the council," said Samos, bowing his head.	6
11	362	"Power to the council!" cried the men in the tiers.	6
11	364	"Power to the council!" I sat still in my curule chair, smiling.	6
11	380	And almost every one of the captains in that council drew their weapon, as had Samos, and placed it across their knees.	6
11	387	Sullius Maximus stopped before the table of the scribe, and regarded the council.	6
11	398	I saw no reason, at the moment, to commit myself to the programs of Samos and the council.	6
11	404	As I thought it would, the group of proposals set before the council by Samos passed overwhelmingly.	6
11	405	There were some abstentions, and some nays, perhaps from those who feared the power of one or another of the Ubars, but the decision on the whole was clear, a devastating of the claims of the Ubars and the, in effect, enthronement of the council of Captains as sovereign in the city.	6
11	406	The council met late that night, and much business was conducted.	6
11	408	Several committees were formed, usually headed by scribes but reporting to the council, to undertake various studies pertaining to the city, particularly of a military and commercial nature.	6
11	409	One of these studies was to be a census of ships and captains, the results of which were to be private to the council.	6
11	410	Other studies, the results of which would be kept similarly private to the council, dealt with the city defenses, and her stores of wood, grain, salt, stone and tharlarion oil.	6
11	413	The arsenal guard, presumably, would become a branch of the newly formed council guard, if such became a reality.	6
11	415	One might not always be able to count on the rallying of the men of individual captains to protect the council, as had been the case this afternoon.	6
11	416	Besides, if the council were to become truly sovereign in Port Kar, as it had proclaimed itself, it seemed essential that it should soon have its own military forces within the city.	6
11	417	One other incident of that council meeting I shall mention.	6
11	429	"Now that the council is sovereign in Port Kar," Samos said, his fist clenched on the arm of his curule chair, "might not peace be possible?" This puzzled me.	6
11	448	"It is my proposal," said Samos, "that the council approach Cos and Tyros, offering terms of peace".	6
11	456	Further, men might be willing to believe Port Kar now other than she had been, that the coming to power of the council would have reformed her.	6
11	471	"And," I asked, "do we abide by their acceptance? Would there then be truly peace between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros?" "That," smiled Samos, "may always be taken under consideration at a future meeting of the council".	6
11	474	For one thing, the council has newly come to power.	6
11	484	"You speak quickly," he said, "for one who is new to the council of Captains".	6
11	491	Several in the council chamber gasped.	6
11	497	"Let there be peace in the council," said the scribe behind the great table, that before the now-empty five thrones of the Ubars of Port Kar.	6
11	530	"It should be one," Samos was saying, "who has the rank of captain, and who is a member of the council itself, that the authenticity of the offer shall thus be made manifest".	6
11	532	"Further," said Samos, "it should be one who has proved that he can take action, and who has in the past well served the council".	6
11	537	"And," Samos was saying, "it must be one who is not afraid to speak, one who is a worthy representative of the council".	6
11	544	He was senior captain of the council of Captains.	6
11	547	Let it be he who carries peace on behalf of the council to Cos and Tyros.	6
11	550	I had not realized until then that I was valued in the council of Captains.	6
11	557	"Let it be so," said various voices throughout the chamber of the council.	6
11	567	"I am grateful for your nomination," said Samos, "but I scarcely think, in these troubled times, it behooves he who is senior captain of the council to leave the city, voyaging abroad in search of peace when war itself looms at home".	6
11	573	"Antisthenes is wise," I said, "and understands the risks involved, but many of the words Samos has addressed to us seem to me sound and true, and chief among them his assertion that it should be a captain who conducts this mission, for how else could we so easily prove the seriousness of our intent...	6
11	601	I asked myself if Samos thought he was so easily rid of me, one who might challenge him, senior captain, in the council of the captains of Port Kar.	6
12	4	Until the formation of the council guard, the captains and their men would have for their responsibility the maintaining of watches throughout the city.	6
12	5	Even before the emergency session of the council, the night of the unsuccessful coup, had concluded, slaves, instructed by men of the arsenal, were raising walls about the various holdings of Henrius Sevarius.	6
12	88	"Of the council of Captains?" he asked.	6
12	107	If he fell into the hands of the council he would doubtless be tortured and impaled, or, perhaps, condemned to a seat on the rowing benches of the arsenal round ships.	6
12	110	There was surely little to be gained in turning him over to the council.	6
13	12	I put to them, the Ubars of Cos and Tyros, as well as I could, the proposals of the council of Captains of Port Kar, that there would be concord, and doubtless an opening of commerce, between the two Ubarates and the maligned city in the Vosk's delta, my own Port Kar.	6
14	360	I had, by agreement with the council, reserved to myself twelve shares of thirty divisions, as well as all slaves taken.	6
15	15	The ships, in a splendid, long line, filing behind me, the Dorna first, then the tarn ships, then the round ships, under oars, moved slowly through the city, following the triumphal circuit of the great canal, passing even before the chamber of the council of Captains.	6
15	87	"When the treasures have been checked, tallied, and appraised, which should take some four or five weeks," I told her, "you, with your maidens, in the chains of slave girls, will be displayed, together with samples of, and full accountings of, the other treasures, before the council of...	6
15	92	"What will you do with us after we have been displayed before the council of Captains?" she asked.	6
15	102	In this very afternoon the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder had taken place in the chamber of the council of Captains.	6
15	116	Meanwhile, while I had been plying the trade of pirate, the military and political ventures of the council itself, within the city, had proceeded well.	6
15	119	For another thing, the four Ubars, Chung, Eteocles, Nigel and Sullius Maximus, their powers considerably reduced during the time of the unsuccessful coup of Henrius Sevarius, had apparently resigned themselves to the supremacy of the council in the city.	6
15	120	At any rate, for the first time in several years, there was now a single, effective sovereign in Port Kar, the council.	6
15	124	Lastly, the forces of Henrius Sevarius, under the regency of Claudius, once of Tyros, had been driven by the council forces from all their holdings, save one, a huge fortress, its walls extending into the Tamber itself, sheltering the some two dozen ships left him.	6
15	126	Accordingly the council, ringing it with double walls on the land side and blockading it with arsenal ships by sea, chose to wait.	6
15	128	The council, for the most part, in her calculations, ignored the remaining fortress of Sevarius.	6
15	130	One of those therein imprisoned, of course, in the opinion of the council, was Henrius Sevarius, the boy, himself, the Ubar.	6
15	208	Indeed, he, a price on his head from the council, had excellent reasons for concealing his true identity.	6
15	249	I fingered the broad scarlet ribbon and the medallion, pendant about my neck, bearing its tarn ship and initials, those of the council of Captains of Port Kar.	6
15	346	I fingered the golden medallion with the lateen-rigged tarn ship, and the initials of the council of Captains of Port Kar in its half-curve beneath it.	6
15	481	This afternoon I had presented her, with her maidens, in the chains of slave girls, together with portions of the treasures of the treasure fleet, and accountings of the balance thereof, before the council of Captains of Port Kar.	6
15	486	This afternoon, after returning from the council of Captains, I had had her marked and collared.	6
15	507	I had also had her maidens marked and collared, following the meeting of the council of Captains.	6
15	649	"Admiral!" I clutched the medallion about my neck, with its tarn ship and the initials of the council of Captains of Port Kar.	6
15	817	"You, too," she said, "wear a collar!" I tore away from my throat the broad scarlet ribbon, with its pendant medallion, with the tarn ship and the initials of the council of Captains of Port Kar.	6
16	153	I picked up the broad scarlet ribbon, with its medallion, that with the tarn ship and the initials of the council of Captains of Port Kar.	6
16	195	The council and I had apparently miscalculated the damage done by the capture of the treasure fleet to the war plans of Cos and Tyros.	6
16	297	"To the council of Captains," I told them.	6
16	309	The ship nosed through the canals of Port Kar toward the hall of the council of Captains.	6
16	338	"I think to the council of Captains," said one of the men on the walk.	6
16	341	I saw bundles thrown down and arms unsheathed, and behind us, in throngs of thousands now, came the people of Port Kar, following us to the great piazza before the hall of the council of Captains.	6
16	342	Even before the man in the bow had tied the tharlarion-prowed longboat to a mooring post at the piazza, I had leaped up to the tiles and was striding, robes swirling, across the squares of the broad piazza toward the great door of the hall of the council of Captains.	6
16	343	Four members of the council Guard, beneath the two great braziers set at the entrance, leaped to attention, the butts of their pikes striking on the tiles.	6
16	348	Of the usual seventy or eighty, or so, captains of the approximately one hundred and twenty entitled to sit in the council, only some thirty or forty were present.	6
16	350	The scribe, haggard behind the great table, sitting before the book of the council, looked up at me.	6
16	360	"I petition," said I to the scribe, as though it might be an ordinary meeting, "to address the council".	6
16	380	"Hear them! They are outside!" The men of the council lifted their heads.	6
17	11	Beyond this, we had three hundred and fifty ships furnished by the captains of the council who had not, prior to the time of the showing of the Home Stone, fled.	6
17	13	My own ships counted in with these of the captains of the council.	6
17	151	Surely many captains, of the council and otherwise, had done so, their holds filled with their chained slaves and secured treasures.	6
17	217	With the glass I saw, on her stern castle, Antisthenes, that captain of the council whose name had been always first on her rolls.	6
18	3	The council will decide what is to be done with him".	6
18	66	The hall of the council itself might now be in flames.	6
18	117	How else, I asked myself, had he been able to take an oar on the longboat in the canals when I had gone to the hall of the council of Captains, or been able to board the Dorna, or taken his place in the longboat that had ferried me to the round ship? I, too, was not unfond of the boy.	6
18	676	"The council of Captains of Port Kar," said Samos, "has business with you".	6
18	782	The council hall, though partly burnt, is not destroyed.	6
18	831	"Why!" "Samos," said I, "was it from you that the message came, months ago, which I received in the council of Captains, seeking to speak with me?" "Yes," said Samos.	6
